Well, I've neglected my blog due to the very busy last month...but thought I would post a Christmas message for everyone! The pictures are of my little drama queen posing for the "Christmas Card" picture (which now will be the "New Years" picture). She always adds her own flair to it; her favorite thing to do right now is turn her back to the camera, then when she sees the flash go off, she turns around and smiles sweetly...little stinker!

We hope that everyone is having a very Merry Christmas! Yan got pretty sick this last week, but it looks like she is perking up in time for fun Christmas activities. We're going to a friends' house tonight for food, fellowship and music, and will spend a quiet day at home tomorrow.

As another year comes to a close, about all I can say is "God is good". There have been many changes, many trials, but also endless blessings. I am so grateful for Yan, her boundless joy and the blessing she is to me. I'm grateful for the family and friends that have stuck by me through everything. I'm most grateful for Christ, who has never left my side. As I think about His humble beginnings, I am really in awe. Since becoming a parent, just the thought of Mary knowing that her baby had the sole purpose of living and dying to save the world, brings me to tears. I cannot imagine what she went through...how she hurt...how she wrestled with this knowledge. I can't imagine what Jesus went through knowing this...I just cannot imagine.

I pray that during this busy Christmas time, we pause and try to reflect, try to imagine what Christ did and what it means to us. It alone provides us with life, salvation, and provision for our lives!

About Me

I'm single, mom by adoption to Yan and Mady. They are the sunshine in my life. Yan happens to be chromosomally enhanced (has Down Syndrome) and keeps me hopping on a daily basis. Mady was born as a 1 lb., 12 oz micro premie and has beat all odds. She is curious and busy! We are a homeschooling family and would love to expand our family again someday.
I am a grateful Child of the King and am learning more daily about what it means to be free in Christ.
Professionally, I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist by trade...but I took time away to get Yan and Mady stable and have enjoyed running estores online. I am beginning my own practice again on a part-time basis and am excited to start working with children again.
